In this retrospective Podcadst, Mike Goodpaster delves into the intriguing journey of Scott LeDoux, a heavyweight boxer from the 1980s who unexpectedly earned a shot at the WBC Heavyweight Championship against Larry Holmes. LeDoux's notoriety grew as he displayed explosive behavior on national television, catching the attention of Howard Cosell and the public. He had a history of clashes with familiar adversaries, as seen in his surprising attack on Johnny Boudreaux during an interview. Despite his exclusion from Don King's roster, LeDoux continued to compete against Duane Bobick and Olympic gold medalist Leon Spinks, often falling short in critical moments. His split decision loss to Ron Lyle left many believing he deserved victory. However, LeDoux's resilience showed in subsequent fights, including a draw with Ken Norton and a win against Marty Monroe. While the path to his title contention was complex, LeDoux's determination and boxing skills played a significant role in his remarkable journey.
